MSi IE ver. 6 - winXP-SP3

by **Pike** » Sun Jan 18, 2009 1:34 pm

Hi,

When I visit your demo http://www.phpfreechat.net/demo with MS IE 6 winXP-SP3,
I see screen like this http://www.elfa.sk/stika/phpchat-msie6.jpg

With all other browsers like:

winXP-P3 => Opera, Firefox 2 and 3, Safari 3, Google Chrome 1
vista 64bit => MS IE 7, Opera, Firefox 3, Safari 3, Google Chrome 1
windows 7 => MS IE 8

I see normal working chat application.

Can somebody help me?
Must I have extra setting/option with MS IE 6?

I edited this line in my message:

I removed dot at end sentence.

Ah, sorry, I didn't see that or I would have just done it myself.

I'm betting you have javascript disabled on IE.

1. No, I've javascript enabled with all browsers, when I tested.
2. I'm not such the lammer, I'm working with scripting languages more then 10 years

Maybe you have ActiveX disabled ?
(I tried with IE6 on Win2k and it was ok)

Are you sure IE6 is the default browser on WinXP ? Is your XP uptodate ?
I thought IE7 was the default browser on XP.

I'm not able to reproduce the bug but if you find a patch to correct the problem, submit it, I'll review it and I'll integrate it on official source code.

No need to come back at my so rudely, in your previous post you said:

The first setting that popped into my head that might have been changed would be javascript. You never indicated your experience or knowledge, and quite frankly, I've got about the same amount of experience as you and I've forgotten to turn my JS back on after testing something and ended up with unexpected results... and that was with my own code. There's no reason why it couldn't have been a simple accident... no insult implied.

I did more and more tests with shit MS IE ver. 6 (on XP).
I've problems with this the one always!

I wrote my apps with Firefox with its great Firebug.
Then I did tests with Opera, Safari, Google Chrome, MS IE.
MS IE does problems always ( with default/my settings in its options ).

I'm not narky, and I didn't want be rudely.

Why do you use prototype.js ?
Why do not you use JQuery?
I think JQuery is better.

I'm having the same issue (albeit with "MultipleIEs" installation of IE6). Is the latest stable version still supposed to be compatible with IE6+? Do I have to use a different theme for it?

I also have trouble with the cookie detection on the latest stable with IE6 (always returns false regardless of actual cookie settings; not sure if there's a workaround or if skipping cookie detection with IE6 is the thing to do...). But if I bypass the cookie detection it comes out like the above image.

imo, you should encourage your users to move away from ie6 asap, not waste time tweaking the chat to work with it
